More details
Currently, in order to recieve higher education (and thanks to NuLabour) young people are saddled with masses of debt. Candidates for Parliament recieve for their £500 deposit a free mailing to every house in the constituency. I am prepared to stand at the next general election campaigning on this issue in the mailing if 50 people also sick of tuition fees will each pledge a tenner towards paying the deposit to sand.
- make my voice heard and help young people’s views to get noticed. When I have an opinion on a news story, I will voice it in the media by commenting online, writing to editors of papers or magazines, or calling in to TV or radio programmes. It’s our news too.
- become a liberty activist in New Hampshire by September 30, 2011
- donate £20 to World Water Day March 2010
